It's my belief that this request is way beyond the remit of a tutor mailing
list. The main mailing list is one obvious
place to go, but maybe better yet would be the specialist testing list. This is
available at gmane.comp.python.testing.general.
Hi Mark,
Thanks. As you may have noticed I have posted this message on the main Python
list. I received one off-list reply (a suggestion to use Github Enterprise). I
could still try gmane.comp.python.testing.general. It is surprising that,
unlike unittests, load/stress tests apparently are a more obscure domain. I
have a book about Python testing
(http://www.packtpub.com/python-testing-beginners-guide/book) and as far I can
remember it does not cover this topic at all. A little googling does reveal
some promising packages, e.g. http://locust.io/,
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/funkload, or this overview:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonTestingToolsTaxonomy
regards,
Albert-Jan
I did see your message. Outside of my knowledge base unfortunately :(
Give the testing specialist list a try, nothing ventured, nothing
gained, it's available via mechanisms other than the gmane one
referenced above.
As they say on the stage, go break a leg :)
